The Spaces Between: Belonging In Poetry

These award winning poets will come together to discuss how personal histories, imagined places, and harsh roads to tenderness create the landscapes for their work. Poets Maria Giesbrecht (A Little Feral), Laurie D. Graham (Calling It Back to Me), Sadiqa de Meijer (Qaf’s People) and Tanis Macdonald (Tall, Grass, Girl) will explore in their latest collections with discussions moderated by Sarah Tolmie on truth, authenticity, and the fine line between the two. Whether their work is based on real events or fictional locations, they will explore what makes a poem ‘true’?
